Mindset – Can It Really Make a Difference?

I listened to “The Strangest Secret” audio by Earl Nightingale and it got me thinking about mindset and does it really work.

Let's talk a little bit about mindset. You probably have heard some of the top earners out there talk about changing your mindset will change your results.

Do you believe that just by changing how we think about things that this can change our results and how our lives are lived. Well the answer is a resounding YES and not only yes but if you don't change or modify your mindset you will never get to where you want in life.

Some of the greatest men in entrepreneurial history have spoken on this subject and how important it is. Here are just a few:

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”– Steve Jobs

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover.”– Mark Twain

In 1956, Earl Nightingale wrote “The Strangest Secret” in an attempt to teach people the power of the mind, the power of thought. He said, “you become what you think about all day long.”

Nightingale's inspiration came from Napoleon Hill's book, “Think and Grow Rich,” published in 1937.

This is just a very small sample of the great men and women in history that put a very high value on our mindset and how we think and what we think about every day.

My mentor and friend Ray Higdon has put together a course, “Vibrational Money Immersion” that is all about having the Think and Grow Rich mindset in Network Marketing.

So one would surmise that if all these and many more put so much value on their mindset that it must have some pretty significant value.

Does it work? That's the real question though isn't it, does changing your mindset really work. Here's what I can tell you that I have found after over 60 years on this earth.

My attitude, demeanor, outward appearance, how I react to people, how people react to me, and much more is very dependent on my mindset for that day or moment. If I'm having a great day and thinking about positive things, then my whole attitude is changed for the better and people around me react to that.

When I feel like I can accomplish something that task becomes much easier, whether I get it done or not and the people around me see that.

Have you ever known the person that walks into the room with that all encompassing negative mindset and the dark cloud that follows them.

Then that positive mindset person walks in and the room lights up and everyone feels it. You have an influence on your surroundings whether you like it or not. Your mindset, positive or negative reflects on that.

What will you be today….. what you are and will become is what you spend your time thinking about. Change Your Mindset, Change Your LIFE!

Thanks Ron for reminding us that mindset is everything. I don’t know anyone who was born with a success mindset…so it’s up to us to work on that each day.
It’s so true that what we think about is what we become!
A simple way to work on mindset is keeping the personal growth CDs in the car and use drive-time for mindset time.
Thanks again and have a great day.
